If You Find This Thrift Shopping, Buy It: Cutco Utensils Duration: 00:38 This brand of cooking utensil is American-made and built to last. Even better, they can resell for big bucks. Cutco the name comes from “Cooking UTensil COmpany” began production in Olean, New York, in 1949. In 1952, Cutco contracted with industrial designer Thomas Lamb, nicknamed “the Handle Man,” to create a new type of handle for its line of cutlery. Lamb’s innovative handle designs had been featured in a 1948 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The Wedge-Lock handle that Lamb designed for Cutco featured an ergonomic design that secured the fingers across the knife handle and “locked” the user’s thumb in place to create a safer grip. The company is still going strong today, but retail prices are steep. A new six-piece set of cooking tools costs $266, and this five-piece knife set will set you back $519. Cutco pieces with Wedge-Lock handles are easy to identify. Han
